UART Sanded Pastel Paper - 600 Grade/Grit DARK - 5x10

• I have used many pastel papers, and I have discovered that sanded pastel paper makes a huge difference in what kind of experience you will have with the medium. It allows a lot of layering, and you can erase it without damaging the paper. In addition, the sanded paper grips onto the medium, and you do not need to seal or use fixative on your artwork. Please note there are several different grades of the UART sanded paper… the 600 is the one I recommend because it doesn’t damage the Sofft Tools. Using a different grade and other pastel papers can affect your experience with the medium.

• If you can’t find the UART brand what is most important is that it is a sanded fine grade pastel paper. Another brand is Clairefontaine Pastelmat . An alternative option is preparing a black surface using a pastel ground/clear gesso (you will not get the same details if using the other papers)
